Abstract
We have rigorously calculated all the possible two-body rate constants associated with population dynamics of the hyperfine levels of atomic hydrogen as a function of magnetic field at T=0 K. These results are important in view of the recently suggested use of magnetic traps to obtain Bose-Einstein condensation.Keywords
